St Maarten’s leading all-inclusive resort has added a new restaurant, Caribbean Journal has learned. 

The adults-only Sonesta Ocean Point Resort in St Maarten has unveiled its newest eatery: Portofino, a “modern interpretation of classic Northern Italian specialties.”

It’s one of three open-air eateries at the resort, joining Azul Restaurant and Bluefin Restaurant + Bar. 

The eatery is led by Executive Chef Francisco Almonte, with a focus on using “vibrant seasonal and local ingredients.”

Portofino’s menu ranges from thinly-sliced Carpaccio di Manzo to Tagliatelli Frutti di Marie with scallops, calamari, shrimp and black mussels in a white wine sauce. 

Portfofino is only one for dinner, with a five-course a la carte menu.
